Vango Banshee tent & DD Hammock.

Spent an hour trying to sort out the Hammock and found that I had the whoppie-cords the wrong way round which would explain why I kept dropping to the ground while in hammock. Sorted that out via watching you-tube and then a karabiners flew off into the bushes so have ordered better spec ones from DD. But while the hammock did stay up it was great, even the dogs joined me right away.

The Vango had to have the inner tent fixed to the outer tent. That took nearly an hour to work out. A strong wind did not help. But I got there with the dogs saying it was better entertainment than watching TV. The Banshee will be quick to put up now and is compact enough for me and Max. With both tent and hammock I should always have a system that will give me comfortable shelter.
